A Shopify plan on any tier — Citera uses only standard Online Store 2.0 features.
No third-party page-builder or apps are required. Faceted filters use Shopify’s free Search & Discovery app.
For per-product content (specs, directions), you’ll create a few product metafields in admin. Optional but recommended.
For the country/language selector, configure Shopify Markets.

Add Citera under Online Store → Themes. Keep it as a draft while you set it up.

Click Customize to open the theme editor.

In Theme settings, pick a theme style — a preset that sets colours, type, and spacing in one move. See Foundations → Theme styles.

Set your logo, favicon, colours, fonts, and social links.

Build your homepage from sections, then set up product, collection, and other templates.

Add product metafields for accurate specs and directions.

Preview on desktop and mobile, then Publish.

Theme styles never touch your products or content — only the look. Switching one is always safe.
